　　陈维的创作常以舞台装置和情境再造的方式呈现于摄影之中。近年来，他更是不断地以布景和多媒介装置结合的展出形式，将其工作延伸至现场。此次同名个展包含了艺术家近年最新创作的摄影与装置作品，他以介于虚构与真实的手法带我们重读关于城市的想象与现实。

　　Staged mise-en-scène and scenario re-enacting are often seen in Chen Wei's photography. In recent years, he has been working on the combination of stage setting and multi-media installation as an on-site extension in his work. This exhibition contains the artist's recent works of photography and installation, which will arouse our reconsideration of facts and imaginations upon city, within the blurred boundaries of fiction and reality constructed by him.

　　一系列关于城市建筑景象的摄影，源自艺术家正在持续的项目“新城”，这是关于对新城的想象，也是关于流变中的城市现状。艺术家通过搜集与整理，并重新规划搭建，将景物从繁复的背景中孤立出来，使事物于现实的语义中更加明晰。

　　A series of photographs of the urban architecture scene are derived from the ongoing project "New City" , which is about the imagination of the new city, and also about the status of the city in changes. By collecting, synthesizing and rebuilding, landscape is isolated from complex background, in that way, objects acquire clearer semantics.

　　一组照明装置，是由艺术家购于旧货市场的三件不同尺寸的LED广告屏组成，每个屏幕流动着不同的广告并且都有着不同程度的故障。艺术家通过收购与重置，将这些流动于都市，夸张而生硬，甚至粗暴的语言，重新作为其创作的素材，伴随着故障，带回到展厅。

　　A set of lighting installation is made up of three different sized LED advertising screens, purchased by the artist in a market. Each screen plays different advertisements and has varying degrees of glitch. Through Chen's acquisition and resettlement, these exaggerated, blunt, and even rude languages that used to haunt the city, are now glitched materials being brought back to the exhibition.

　　关于硬币系列的雕塑装置与摄影，最初发展于2012年为尤伦斯当代艺术中心的群展《ON|OFF》而作的“金属圆片”系列(许愿池中的硬币)，之后艺术家逐渐将焦点落在许愿硬币和喷水池中的无名雕塑之上。经过几年的走访考察，拍摄并制作了这些不再充满象征意义的雕塑和闪光的硬币。

　　Sculptures and photography of the Coin series have been initially developed since 2012 (the coins in the fountain) in the group exhibition "ON | OFF" at Ullens Center for Contemporary Art. Chen then gradually switch his focus on the coin and the nameless sculpture in the fountain. After several years of research, he shooted the flashing coins and sculptures that are no longer symbolic.
